Like it a lot. Great city.
Lots of work though, so I haven't actually seen that much yet... and it took me two weeks before I could say my address in a way so that capdrivers understood it without me showing them the chinese letters :D .

Have just started getting private tuition though, so it'll improve hopefully :) .

As a matter of fact it was the Swedish guy Svennis (no longer around as Lazio aren't the thing anymore) who came up with that. I think he managed to make himself more hated at the Parma forum than most - which is an accomplishment considering what a tempered lot the hamsters seem to be :).
Svennis, the guy who felt Parma and Laziofans are somewhat connected cause of the similarities? he was a fecking schizo, he would claim "peace" with parmafans and the next minute he would bash us :googly: . I think that's the reason why Parmafan couldn't stand him. He was abit like calcio100 but just not to that degree.

Skizo? Hardly. He just considered it probable that Parma would turn into a mere feeder club for Lazio. For some reason this notion was unpopular in your forum, so he was attacked with gusto :D .

An angry mob you would become! I particularly remember VERDI being at his most venomous (what is it with you Swedes anyway :tongue: ?).... and also the now much more mellow Cam.

Oh cool. So what is it you're "assigned to" anyway? :)

I don't remember it like that, then again I registered here 2002. But Svennis would come and talk cheap when Cragnotti and Tanzi were caught. He would try with his "we're in the same shit, our fans can relate" dialogoues. Then if we lost a game he would say we're pathetic and so on :D. That's abit schizo, don't ya think?

Everyone was mad then, nobody was ready to accept the notion that we would be a Livorno type of team. And fans that hated parma kept showing up :D. Now it's not fun to bash us anymore so people don't. The funny thing is that in all kinds of parmaforums(like svenskafans.se) people were touchy and mad as hell telling people to feck off. It's like we all went through the same school of behaving :D.

Long story :) - and the short version is that I have contract with a think tank publication called Monday Morning (available in Norway too, so maybe you heard of it) and I get to do very interesting China-related pieces for them (politics, innovation, economy pollution etc, but also more academic features on city planning and 'the new Metropolis' etc.).

Apart from this I freelance for papers.... and have some gut wrenchingly commercial assignments too :). About as boring as can be, but successfully pays the rent :D .
 
News of the Day:

Secco is quoted as saying Juve are trying very hard for Frings right now, so hopefully this transfer is close to being finalized

There are also reports of Juventus having interest in Anelka
 
Almost missed a big one...

Juventus are after Cris. It looks like one of Cris, Barzagli, Vidic and Pepe will be the piece we build our D around.
 
Vidic? Come on, that's just silly.

To bad that we aren't after another brazilian defender, Alex. I've never been that impressed with Cris, and I don't believe he is someone to build our defence on long term. Neither is Barzagli though. Pepe I've never seen.
 
Man the Anelka rumour is so far the best striker rumour. Would be cool to have him.


Pepe is quite good defender, but too many teams might want him. Alex is my dream signing for defence myself.
 
Yeah but get with the times hehe. Brazil have funnily enough one of the best defence in the world nowadays. And Alex is one of the best defenders of the world and will grow more and more as a player as he is still of the new generation of players. Its weird they have really good defenders lately, and Italy can only get Barzaghli....
 
Chelsea need defensive cover though, if they own Alex which they probably do, i doubt they'll sell him.
